[An] absurdly bad movie.

Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
Rotten

Ss flat and uninteresting as a newsreel from the 1930s about vacationing in the south of France.

For all those out there who can't get enough of Prince, Under the Cherry Moon may be just the antidote.

Walter Goodman, New York Times
Fresh

Prince wants to ride atop the float, receiving the crowd's adulation, but he's also larking about down in the street, happy to be one of the clowns.

Charles Taylor, Salon.com
Fresh

At least Prince's narcissism is easier to take than Stallone's or Rob Lowe's: he doesn't regard the rest of the world as an insult to his estimable self.

Pat Graham, Chicago Reader
